Feel better bumble! Slow 9.5 for me..i have a great running friend, but he brings down my pace so much im worried about losing speed..trying to find time to go to gym at other points in day to do some sprints but its hard when you work nights.. Happy bib day!

Kgrimaldi - I dont think slow runs at this point is going to make a difference in the marathon (I dont know though). Are you in tapper or do you start next week?

Don - I know how you feel! (Kind of) I am still waiting on my fate... there is a slight pain in my heel, saw the doctor today and had an x-ray done... MRI tomorrow and results probably by thursday night or friday she says. Hoping for the best. Taking this week off until I get the results.

Finally got out there today after barely running for the better part of a week b/c of being sick again. 2.4 miles at an easy pace at the Reservoir. How great to be back in the park and enjoying nature!

last real speed workout - 9mi tot incl 5 x mile on the TM with a bit of incline, @ 6:48, 6:44, 6:39, 6:34, 6:29. .5mi grandma jog in between. times are not impressive compared to what this wouldve been on the track, but i ddint have the time to get there this evening. also, i felt like i was going to puke, so i think i mustve hit the intensity on the nose.

Hi Everybody! I'm in Texas. My 50-mile run is tomorrow! (finally) I flew here Wednesday and did kind of a lot of driving through yesterday, going to various places to see family members. I feel a little stuffy and a little headachy...hopefully that wears off. I'm resting today and we start tomorrow morning at 7 central. Wish me luck!

i'm deciding on my spectating spot for the marathon. i'm thinking somewhere above 110th on 1st. should i make a sign for you guys or just good ol' fashioned cheering? i do have a cowbell...

I'm trying to figure that one out too. First marathon I'll be a spectator at! Nice thing about NYC, as opposed to races like Miami where it started at 6:05am (not that it mattered with the heat), is I get to sleep in a bit. Know that's not true for runners unless you somehow manage to catch some ZZZ's over in SI (I certainly didn't), but am looking forward to it.

Four missed run's this week due to being on my ass sick... but, I was able to get out there this morning for 8. My attitude was let's just run a mile and see how I feel. I felt good, especially my legs and went to 8. I didn't want to push too much. Knock on wood I can get back into my normal running this week.

12 for me this morning. Ran down Ocean Pkwy, over to Manhattan Beach and then Brighton Beach to Coney. A little chilly by the ocean but still a lot of Russian seniors sun-bathing in bikinis and Speedos.

Everything is nice and easy from here on in. Short runs. My longest is 8, next weekend.

I still occasionally get some scary shin twinges after a long run so I plan to baby them for the next two weeks. Maybe I'll spring for a real massage in addition to foam rolling.

What wonderful weather! I'll take this for 3 November. 16, mainly on the B-path in CP, 48 for the week a la Pfitz. Plan for next week is to stick with the plan, it's worked the last dozen times or so. Will run the "marathon kickoff" very slowly with a buddy who is doing his first. I also have to check my bib number history for the "beat the bib", weather preoccupied, aches and pains hypochondria taper madness I am about to experience. I think my ankle feels funny....

~23.8 this morning. there wasn't really one good thing about this run...felt like garbage from the get-go. had to navigate around the nike women's marathon, which engulfed SF this morning (and also woke me up at 5:40am with their stupid megaphone. apparently my block is home to some start corrals.). buuuuuuuut after 140 consecutive miles of training (2 weeks) with no rest - i literally can't WAIT to not run tomorrow.

Did 16 solid miles this morning followed by walking/running all over the bronx zoo with the kids Feel really good now ready for taper to begin. Going to concentrate on some good quality miles over the next 2 weeks.
